Chapter 124: Collect the Spirit Flame, Break Through Sword King!

Lou Mu Yan walked to the Purple-Gold Spirit Flame’s side and saw that the flame that was constantly jumping around suddenly grew in one size.

She curled her lips and smiled.
The Purple-Gold Spirit Flame was indeed full of cleverness.
Fortunately, it had just evolved and was just born, so it had yet to bear wisdom, otherwise it wouldn’t be easy to subdue it today.

The Purple-Gold Spirit Flame was a Spiritual Item born from Heaven and earth.
It had its own pride and spontaneously rejected being subdued by others.

Therefore, its flame instinctively jumped and expanded in reaction to Lou Mu Yan’s approach, and a heat source generated from its core formed an oppressive cyclone that was released towards her.

With a thought from Lou Mu Yan, a bright blue light burst from the ice bangle to block the violent flame cyclone outside.

She sat cross-legged next to the Purple-Gold Spirit Flame, and her dan’tian began to spin, withstanding the rioting of the flames, as her hands danced lightly in the air.

Her slender hands flipped, and she snapped her fingers, then white balls of Spiritual Energy jumped out from her fingertips one by one, as if snowflakes fluttering down, instantly falling onto every wisp of the Purple-Gold Spirit Flame.

She was once a high-level Alchemist in the Spirit World in her previous life, so she naturally had conquered a Spirit Flame for her own use.
Except, compared to the Purple-Gold Spirit Flame, it was still inferior.

She once accepted the inheritance of a Heavenly Grade Alchemist in a Secret Realm, so in addition to inheriting ways of refining pills and pill recipes, she also received a Method that specialised in subduing and refining Spirit Flames, decreasing the feelings of repulsion.

The focus of this Method was on agreement rather than subduing through suppression.
This meant that after using the Method, the entire person would exude an attraction that could be felt by the Spirit Flame, reducing the feeling of repulsion.

Finally, she would transform the Spiritual Force into nutrients to nourish the Spirit Flame.
When the Mental Energy was connected, she would immediately absorb and refine it.
She must also regard the Spirit Flame as part of her life, and not a plaything to order around.

Subduing the Spirit Flame and refining it originally had to be used in conjunction with a kind of pill to reduce rejection and harm to her internal organs.
After all, it was extremely dangerous to absorb this sort of Spiritual Item into her body.

Without the spirit pill that could suppress it, the chance of success in refining it was very small.
If one was careless, they’d receive backlash from the Spirit Flame, becoming ashes and smoke.

She still lacked a few main Spirit Herbs on her to be able to refine that sort of spirit pill, so if she forcefully absorbed and refined it, then there was a high probability that she’d receive backlash.

However, the ice bangle had already recognised her as its Master, and although she couldn’t unlock it and use it, but she could still borrow the power contained in it.

She knew that the mysterious power in the ice bangle could perfectly suppress the Spirit Flame, that’s why she was determined to give it a try.

When the Purple-Gold Flame was covered by the white balls of light, Lou Mu Yan chanted an obscure hex, her eyes flashed sharply, and she whispered: “Collect!”

The purple-gold flame was suddenly uprooted by the white ball of light, then with a [shiu], it flew straight into Lou Mu Yan’s dan’tian.

[GASP!] Scorching pain suddenly came from her dan’tian which made her gasp uncontrollably.

She took a deep breath and immediately mobilised the green sea of fog in her dan’tian to envelop the ball of purple-gold flame.
The ice bangle that was in harmony with her Soul made a [hum] sound and strands of blue gas overflowed from the bangle, entering into her dan’tian.

Lou Mu Yan endured the heart wrenching pain and mobilised the Method in her body.
Waves of coolness came from her dan’tian, but she still couldn’t get rid of the pain.

It was as if she was thrown into a stove and roasted.
Her face was flushed, a layer of red appeared on her white skin, and her body was frighteningly hot.

There was a rush of burning pain in her heart.
She bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth to prevent herself from making a sound.
Fine sweat filled her forehead, and her white clothes were quickly drenched by her sweat as a few strands of hair stuck to her pale face.

She slightly trembled all over, closed her eyes and used all her willpower to support herself not to faint.

Her cultivation base was too low.
If she didn’t forcibly support herself and use the Method, as well as the ice bangle’s power to relieve the firepower in her body, she was afraid that her internal organs would’ve been burned to ashes.

She forced herself into a state of emptiness and calmness, enduring the pain and laboriously mobilised the Spiritual Energy that carried green fog in her body.

If it were another person, they’d probably have been tortured by the piercing pain and gave up long ago.
But she worked hard to withstand it tenaciously, not letting herself give up at all.

Her temperament was as such—stubborn and unyielding, and upon meeting the strong, she would become even stronger.

After half a day, the moment Ming Xiu, who broke through from the layer of space, landed on the rock, he saw the woman in white sitting not far away.

Her exceptionally beautiful little face was currently pale with an abnormal blush, her clothes were drenched with sweat, revealing her exquisite jade-like body, her lower lip was bitten open as a few drops of blood fell, and she appeared slightly bewitching.

Her brows were furrowed together, and the pained expression was one that Ming Xiu had never seen before, but it also contained a kind of firmness and tenacity which made her whole person glow with the charm of striving to become stronger, uninhibited, and domineering.

So what if the Purple-Gold Spirit Flame was precious, rare, and powerful? I’ll still want to subdue you and refine you.

This was Lou Mu Yan.

The face under Ming Xiu’s mask grew solemn.
Seeing Lou Mu Yan in such a state and feeling the fluctuations of this space, he naturally guessed what had happened earlier.

This little woman was simply too bold and reckless—she dared to take the risk of subduing a Spirit Flame with the cultivation base of a Sword Spirit.
Although it seemed that she wasn’t far from success, but his heart still ached seeing her suffering.

Ming Xiu took off his mask, revealing that unparalleled, beautiful, devilishly charming face.
Ming Xiu’s long and thin phoenix eyes narrowed, and his thin lips pressed together tightly.

Then he sat cross-legged behind Lou Mu Yan, formed a few Taoist Seals in front of his chest and placed his two palms on her back.

A trace of wood attribute Elemental Energy flowed from his palms and fused into her body, as well as fusing into her heart, little by little.

From the moment someone entered this space, Lou Mu Yan had discovered it, but when she felt that the aura was Ming Xiu, she let go of much of the vigilance that she had raised.

The trace of wood attribute Elemental Energy that entered her body suddenly cleared her slightly groggy consciousness.
The Purple-Gold Spirit Flame that had shrunk several times in her dan’tian was also suppressed by an external force.

With a start, she took the opportunity to mobilise the green sea of fog to envelop the small wisp of purple-gold flame in her dan’tian, quickly refining it.

Borrowing Ming Xiu’s power, she saved a lot of time, and the pain was also suppressed a lot.

With a clear mind, she utilised the Method to permeate into the Spirit Flame and showed it kindness.
Her Spiritual Sense slowly merged into the Spirit Flame, and the green sea of fog surged ceaselessly, as if layers of breaking waves.

A day later, the last of the purple-gold flame in Lou Mu Yan’s dan’tian vanished, and the flush on her face and body eventually disappeared.

After another day, there was a very faint purple-gold light that appeared in the green sea of fog in her dan’tian.

And Lou Mu Yan, who had her eyes closed and was meditating, didn’t immediately withdraw from the state of refining.
She successfully refined the Purple-Gold Spirit Flame, but also because of the power of the Spirit Flame and the crazy absorption of Spiritual Force from before, the bottleneck that she was stuck at for her cultivation was broken through.

When she reached Peak-Phase Sword Spirit, she still decided to grit her teeth and used the last wave of Fire Elemental Energy to strike and break through the final bottleneck.

Such an opportunity was very rare, and she would suffer a loss if she didn’t use this opportunity to advance to Sword King.

Three days later, when the Fire Elemental Energy Spiritual Force in this space was completely absorbed and exhausted by her, the Spiritual Force Body Tempering was also completed.
A seven-coloured light enveloped Lou Mu Yan and the pressure of a Sword King streamed out unconsciously like a torrent.

When the seven-coloured light disappeared, she opened her eyes and as soon as she raised them, she met the pair of clear and deep obsidian-like black eyes that carried a devilishly captivating charm as if it could suck one into them.
